Condition of former President still unknown

Two days after former President Bharrat Jagdeo was air-dashed to a medical facility in Florida after falling ill, there are still no updates on his condition.

Mr. Jagdeo who was recently in India, returned to Guyana last week and began complaining of feeling unwell. Sources said within days, his condition deteriorated as he became weak from a bout of vomiting and other flu like symptoms. He was seen by local doctors who referred him to overseas medical attention.

A medical emergency was activated on Friday and on Saturday, the former President left Guyana for the Florida facility. Sources familiar with his medical complaints said it is believed he may be suffering from a new strain of the dengue fever. Doctors have been looking at other illnesses also.
